Executive search for commercial roles
Most recruiters have never carried a quota.
We have. Azimuth Search headhunts European commercial talent for companies building in the Gulf.
Hiring a salesperson is the highest stakes hire a founder makes and the one most often made on a hunch.
Candidates tell you they hit their number. Almost nobody checks. And someone who looked strong at a big company, with a known brand, inbound leads and a team around them, can look very different as your second hire with none of that.
Hiring it yourself
40 to 60 founder hours
Three months of searching
Whoever applies
A chat and a reference call
Six months of salary if it fails
Six more weeks of empty territory
Azimuth Search
About four founder hours
Shortlist in four weeks
Whoever is best, usually employed
Verified numbers, live assessment
Free replacement if it fails
Territory covered sooner
An in house recruiter only makes sense above eight to ten hires a year. Below that you pay an agency or you pay with your own time.

What we actually do
We headhunt, we do not advertise
The salespeople worth hiring are employed and not reading job adverts. We approach them directly and sell them on your company.
We assess for the job, not the CV
Quota history that reconciles across territory, ranking and cycle length. Then a live discovery call scored on qualification and control.
A network across Europe
Years of enterprise selling across European markets, and the relationships that came with it. We know which companies build good sellers.
The salespeople worth hiring are not reading job adverts.
